Container operator IMS launches 6 new products for Styria

IMS to provide 6 new routes from Graz to Europe’s seaports and a national alternative for Rail Cargo Austria
 
Container operator IMS is to provide customers with new products to/from Graz. In a press release the company announces the launch of connections between the Cargo Center Graz and the northern ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven, as well as the western ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. On national scale they are establishing services from the Cargo Center Graz to Enns and Vienna.
 
"I am pleased that Graz, in addition to Vienna, Enns and Salzburg, is now optimally connected to the German ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven." explains Wolfgang Tomassovich, CEO of IMS, "via our antenna trains from Vienna we can also connect Rotterdam and Antwerp. "
 
IMS installed the national antenna to offer a lower-cost alternative to Rail Cargo Austria to customers. Tomassovich defines the background of the national antennas, "I believe that this is the only way to prevent the shift to the road. Since the last price increase and the thinning of the network by Rail Cargo Austria there is increasingly shifting freight from rail to road.
 
On the one hand, the tariffs are more expensive compared to the truck and on the other hand, the timetables have gotten worse.
 
IMS was founded in 1993 as private container operator. Today the full service provider operates locations in Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland. Together with worldwide partners they provide services associated with multimodal transport. The company based in Vienna has about 70 employees handling 147,000 TEU last year, generating turnover of about EUR 47 million.
